I am in the same bucket. I have a Dell that I want to update the BIOS, and it is the same thing. I followed the "create a dos bootable USB" as that was offered as a solution with the comment that this may not work on USB3 machines... Well guess what?? So I am in the same boat. Kind of like selling you a car and telling you that you can only burn Shell gas in it. Microsoft has wreaked more damage on this planet than folks realize. My wake up was in Spain at a glass container plant, dealing with something called Conficker on the plant backend network. To say that I came to hate MS is being nice.
